Creating your walk

To begin plotting your walk click on the pencil+ icon and click on the map to add your first point. To add your second point, move the mouse to where you want this to be and click the mouse. Repeat this process until you have added all your points, for your final point, double click the mouse to complete the walk – you will notice your line changes colour.

To create a loop, make sure your last point is close to the first point with a small gap in between. After you have double click to finish the route, click on the loop icon to form a loop for that route.

To undo this loop, click on the delete last point icon and this will return the route to the previous form.

Editing your walk

If you want to delete points you will need to make sure the walk editor is in an active mode, the line will appear blue when the editor is active. Click on the pencil – icon when the line is blue and active, this will delete the most recently added point, repeat this process to remove previous points.

To clear all points and start again click on the X icon.

Once your route has been created, to refine the points and make it more accurate, click on the arrow icon, this will change the colour of your route with boxes appearing over each coordinate. When you hover over a box you will see a move icon, click and hold the mouse button and move this to its new location. You will also notice a faint box in between each point; these can also be moved to add extra points to your walk making it more accurate.
